Mint Tokens

Summary

The mplx toolbox token mint command mints additional units of an existing SPL token to a recipient's wallet.

• Requires the current identity to hold mint authority for the specified mint.
• Creates the recipient's associated token account on the fly if it does not exist.
• Defaults the recipient to the current identity unless --recipient is passed.
• Amount is expressed in raw token units — divide by 10^decimals for display units.

Quick Reference

The table below summarizes the command's inputs and unit semantics.

Basic Usage

Pass the mint address and the amount as positional arguments.

Arguments

The command takes two positional arguments.

• mint (required): Mint address of the token.
• amount (required): Number of tokens to mint. Must be greater than 0.

Flags
